Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 651
Natalie turned pale.Joshua's gaze was fixed on her, waiting for her explanation.He played with the pendant in his hand. The pendant wasn't large, but it appeared even smaller being held in Joshua's large palm.Looking from afar, the material of the pendant seemed excellent. Joshua stroked the contours of the protruding "Sullivan" with his fingers. "Is this pendant from the Sullivan family?"In fact, he felt something was off when the pendant fell to the ground that afternoon.Pendants were usually fragile, let alone Natalie's pendant, which was made of sapphire.It was widely known that although sapphire was hard, it was extremely brittle. The higher the quality of the material, the more fragile it tended to be.Although Natalie's pendant looked like sapphire, it didn't break or even scratch when it fell from such a height.The Sullivan family was prominent in the capital so all their items were of superior quality.If this pendant was from the Sullivan family, it must have

After all, Natalie's resolute demeanor was too convincing.Moreover, Natalie's mother had passed away. No one would use their deceased mother to make such a ruthless oath.Believe it or not, if he continued to question her like this, it would seem like he lacked compassion.Seeing Joshua's expression soften slightly, Natalie, who was still kneeling moved forward a few steps.She blinked her eyes, looked up at Joshua, and spoke softly, "Josh... Is there something I did wrong that made you unhappy?"If you feel uncomfortable, then punish me as you see fit. I won't complain."I just don't want to be treated like this without reason, so I made the oath to prove myself..."If you have any opinions, please tell me. I will improve myself."Although Natalie was kneeling, she was very straight.Her appearance seemed gentle and weak, but she looked tough. Her eyes were clear as if they contained precious light, making her look like someone unjustly accused.Looking at Natalie, Joshua h

There was a table placed within the spacious dining room.The table was crafted from thick poplar wood without any paint on it. The wood grain on the tabletop was clear, and if one leaned in close, they could catch a faint scent of wood.Natasha looked up.Austin sat in the middle. He looked serious with a hint of formality, which was quite different from the usual.Looking to the left of Austin, another elderly man wearing a green robe exuding both a sense of vicissitudes and a hint of dignified authority was sitting on the left.Natasha scrutinized him seriously, trying to recall the man's name from her memory but she couldn't recall anything.She didn't know this person.Behind this elderly man stood two bodyguards, both burly men with straight postures and disciplined gazes, clearly well-trained.It was extremely rare in Topola for someone to be able to bring bodyguards into the Sullivan Villa.Although the Sullivans' style of doing things was relatively relaxed, it didn't

"Come sit over here," Austin beckoned again, gesturing for her to come closer. "If you woke up late, then so be it. Grandpa won't blame you. Where else can you sleep in if you can't wake up late at your own home? Come over here quickly." Austin smiled warmly, completely unconcerned, evidently indulging her to the extreme.Only then did Natasha find a place to sit.She picked up the bowl of stew in front of her. Before she could take a few sips, Daniel hurriedly walked in from outside.Natasha raised an eyebrow. Why was Daniel also waking up so late today?"You brat, might as well don't come? It's already so late, and you're just coming for breakfast now?" Austin looked up at Daniel and spoke unfriendly.The contrast was stark, showing how much Austin doted on Natasha.However, Daniel didn't pay attention to Austin's words. Instead, he turned to the elderly man beside him and spoke, "Mr. Turner, you finally decided to come."I thought you were going to keep avoiding us."Thi

Natasha put down the spoon in her hand and looked at Issac.Issac continued to say many words, repeating apologies for Carly.Natasha sat in her seat and listened quietly.After finishing his speech, Issac emptied the glass of wine in one gulp to show his sincerity. "I'll drink this cup as a token of apology on behalf of Carly."As the cup was drained, it made a crisp sound when it was placed back on the table.Natasha frowned.Out of politeness, as soon as Issac finished speaking, she intended to stand up and reciprocate.It would also be a response to Issac's apology.When she was about to stand up, she heard a steady voice in her ear. "Natty, stay seated, there's no need to get up."Natasha was stunned and turned to look at Daniel.She saw Daniel directly signaling to her, urging her to accept this apology.This matter was entirely the fault of the Turner family.There was no need for her to personally stand up and respond as she had the right to accept the apology or no
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 656
Daniel escalated the situation this time as an example to other people.He wanted to send a warning to all the young ladies in Topola that Natasha was the jewel of the Sullivan family, and no one should dare to bully her. If anyone did, they wouldn't easily let them off.Seeing Daniel's unfriendly attitude, Issac's hand caressed the teacup as his face showed some anger.After all, he was an elder of the Turner family. Lowering his own dignity to come to the Sullivan Villa and apologize to a junior was already a step back.Issac wouldn't have had to establish a good relationship with the Sullivan family if the Suvillans weren't able to lend him many sophisticated instruments and help him in medical matters over the yearsHoping to maintain a cooperative relationship, he personally came to the Sullivan Villa.But he didn't expect Daniel to be so rude to make additional demands.Did he think the Turner family was easy to bully?Issac's expression turned unpleasant, and his tone wa

Issac sat on the left of Austin with a stern face, neither admitting nor denying.From his expression, Natasha could tell he was angry.It wasn't surprising to see Issac with this annoyed look. After all, as the head of the Turner family, he was used to being treated with respect and deference by the Turners. Natasha would be surprised if Issac could still maintain a smiling demeanor if he was being treated so impolitely by Daniel, who was a younger generation.People like that were usually smiling tigers who looked friendly but good in backstabbing.If Issac were such a person, things would become much more complicated."Issac, I'm asking you, will the Turner family admit this matter?" Austin stopped eating and drinking and sat upright with his eyes fixed on Issac.Issac pondered for a moment, his expression was impatient yet serious. "The Turner family will not admit."With a flick of his sleeve, Issac sat down confidently, his attitude turned firm. "There must be some misun

After all, during her time at the Grayson Villa, whenever Philip and Lorelei treated her kindly, she would find ways to prepare a good meal or buy them gifts. In any case, she would do her best to reciprocate their kindness. She didn't want, nor did she like, owing favors to others. Whenever she attended banquets with Joshua, some wealthy ladies would give her rare items or limited-edition jewelry and clothing. Even if she had nothing to give in return, she would remember each gift and repay them one by one.Every time this happened, Joshua would impatiently tell her that there was no need to return each gift. These gifts were just a casual expense for these wealthy ladies.They gave her gifts because they wanted to establish a good relationship with the Grayson family... If Natasha accepted these gifts, it would help them obtain far more benefits and value from the Grayson family in the future."Natasha didn't listen. Regardless of others' intentions, she stubbornly belie
